Xbox One adds 3D Blu-ray support

In an update due out this August, Microsoft will finally be adding support for 3D Blu-ray playback on the Xbox One, along with a number of other updates.

Neither the Xbox One or the PS4 can currently play 3D Blu-ray discs, but it looks like Microsoft will beat Sony to the punch and bring the feature to Xbox One consoles in a system update due to begin rolling out from August.

Other features coming in the next Xbox One update include the ability to remotely purchase games and add-on content using the Xbox SmartGlass app or on Xbox.com, allowing you to set content to download while you're out. There will also be a new look to the activity feed and friends area on the Home screen, while a 'Last seen time' will be added showing when your Xbox friends were last online.

Also new is a low battery notification so you know when your controller is getting low on juice, and you'll also be able to choose to disable notifications altogether during video playback, a much requested feature according to Xbox.
